Sun spots, or solar lentigines, are harmless dark patches caused by prolonged sun exposure. While not dangerous, many seek to reduce their appearance for smoother, even-toned skin. Here’s what you need to know:
Causes and Prevention
Sun spots result from UV radiation triggering excess melanin production. Prevent them by:
Using Sunscreen Daily: Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential.
Avoiding Peak UV Hours: Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Wearing Protective Clothing: Hats, sunglasses, and long sleeves help.
Reapplying Sunscreen: Especially after swimming or sweating.
Effective Treatments
